English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Jose, CA

Before I moved to the U.S.in December 2014, I was a tenured lecturer in the Department of English, Thammasat University (Thailand) where I taught different courses covering a wide range of language skills, such as “Reading for Information”, “Reading and Writing in Business 2”, “Paragraph Writing”, “Argumentative Writing”, “English Listening-Speaking 1 and 2” and “English for Hotel Personnel”. In the classes that I taught, I usually had students from different academic disciplines and I strived to accommodate their diverse needs, interests and learning styles. I frequently created teaching materials to supplement the assigned texts. For example, I developed the course syllabi and created all course materials for “Listening Speaking 2” and “Argumentative Writing”, which were later standardized and used throughout the Department. I have also used an e-learning platform, Moodle, to enhanc

I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders).

I was a teacher assistant to an English Learning Development class in high school for two years, so I got to interact with students who just came to America from other countries, such as Iran, France, and Vietnam. I'm also currently working as a language tutor, helping American students with Japanese or Japanese students with English. I am passionate about reaching out to others who are new to America or just need help with the languages that I know. I also studied abroad in Japan last summer, so I've gained a perspective of Japanese culture as well as their relations to America. When I was in Japan I also helped university students prepare for their experience with studying abroad in America by practicing English with them daily. I also acted as a translator for English speaking students with didn't know any Japanese.

I have usually insisted in helping people who have struggled in English and Math. I would do my best to explain the material until the student would have a solid understanding of the material. I have helped so many international students in English. As for math, I would insist on helping friends and anyone who is wishing to need help. For math, I would explain the mechanics and techniques of how to get the answer. I want to make sure the student understands fully so I would also be asking the student questions just to ensure he or she knows the material well. For English, I would focus on practicing and discussion. Since it is a langauge, I focus more on practicality. I would also talk to the student and discuss whatever he is having trouble with so that I can give him or her tips to improve.

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g
